MAGICAL UNICORNS 14 July 2018 - 25 February 2019
The mysterious, ambivalent unicorn has throughout history engendered
myriad myths and fantasies. In the 1500’s as well as in the contemporary
period, it has been the subject of a veritable infatuation. From 14 July 2018
to 25 February 2019, the “Magical Unicorns” exhibition at the Musée de Cluny –National Museum of the Middle Ages illustrates the manner in which artists
have represented this legendary creature via illuminated manuscripts and
engraved works, sculptures and tapestries, as well as photographs and videos.
The museum’s most famous masterpiece, the set of six tapestries entitled The
Lady and the Unicorn, constitutes the exhibition’s point of departure. Woven
around 1500, during the transitional period between the Middle Ages and the
Renaissance, these works testify to the importance of the unicorn during the
medieval period. A “magical” animal with a horn that could detect poisons and
purify liquids, it also symbolized chastity and innocence. Indeed, several
illuminated manuscripts evoke the traditional belief that unicorns could only
be approached by virgin maidens. Yet other works represent the unicorn as
powerful, aggressive or even malevolent, influenced notably by tales of
travellers who claimed to have glimpsed it in the Orient. In the late Middle
Ages, towns, powerful lords and printers placed the unicorn within their
coats of arms, emblems or brands, undoubtedly to testify to their
magnificence. In 1882, when the Musée de Cluny acquired The Lady and the
Unicorn, this tapestry became an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The
work’s beautiful feminine figures, the mystery surrounding its creation and
the persistent presence of vegetation and familiar, wild or fantastical
animals all captured its admirers’ attention. Diverse artists, such as
Gustave Moreau and Le Corbusier, borrowed from this medieval hanging that
also inspired a ballet by Jean Cocteau, whose costumes are here displayed. In
the most contemporary works, unicorn references are occasionally humoristic –
notably in the poster design by Tomi Ungerer – or melancholic, as in the
video by Maïder Fortuné. The exhibition is capped off by a final tribute to
The Lady and the Unicorn in the form of five tapestries by Claude Rutault.
The “Magical Unicorns” exhibition is curated by Béatrice de Chancel-Bardelot,
General Curator at the Musée de Cluny. Further complementing The Lady and the
Unicorn, which has returned to its Parisian home after being loaned to the
Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, the exhibition presents other
medieval and contemporary works shared by such prestigious institutions as
the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the Cité Internationale de la
Tapisserie – Aubusson, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, the Fonds
National d’Art Contemporain and the Mobilier national.
